"The entirety of my PhD has centered on community-engaged engineering, so I frequently call on the methods, theories, etc. I learned in the program to engage most effectively with my community partners."
"In my current work identifying policy solutions for the inclusion of pregnant and lactating people in clinical trials, the frameworks that I learned in PSF were helpful in considering the stakeholders that we wanted to include."

WISCIENCE Public Service Fellow Adrian George partnered with the Policy & Engagement Coordinator at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to develop a strategy for the identification of risk and disproportionate impacts of pollution and climate change for communities in Wisconsin. They researched other states’ approaches to environmental justice screening and analyzed Wisconsin’s existing data to write a proposal recommending a methodology to be used to best approach these environmental impacts on a large-scale initiative in Wisconsin.
